Our house was a 200 year old water mill, now completely refurbished.

Secret Gardens is located just outside Borgomaro, a picturesque village in the Ligurian inland, just 15km from Imperia's beaches. We can only be reached via a pedestrian path through the countryside (only 200 mts from where you can park your car - we are however able to take your luggage for you with our little 4wheel drive that can reach our house). The old stone arch marks the entrance to our fairy tale place; an oasis of peace where you can enjoy the sound of the river, the birds and the church bells. Our house was a 200 year old water mill, now completely refurbished. The ground floor is entirely for you, with a bedroom an en-suite bathroom and a living area with a kitchenette for your use. SECRET GARDENS, because we have many terrace gardens than you can enjoy, following either the sun or the shade as you prefer. From here you can walk or bike along our dirt road amidst the surrounding olive groves. The perfect get-away for nature lovers; you will feel like stepping back in time. Relax in the gardens, enjoy breakfast listening to the birds singing, have a barbecue in the evening under the stars, with the light of the fireflies around you or refresh in the natural pools of Borgomaro.

Our only neighbours are birds, squirrels and a huge variety of forest wildlife to share the property with.

Lovely well decorated new apartment with all the things you need. Very clean and a great balcony and location overlooking the town. Roberto is a great host and the communication was perfect and very well organised. Thank you, hopefully back soon!

What a wonderful space! We spent two night here with our 4 children and loved it!!! It is high up in the mountains, quiet and friendly. Marina arranged for a super late night check in for us and her father helped when we needed it. If we were planning another trip to the region we would 100% return to this charming little home. Thank you Marina for making our stay so pleasant!

The place is really cute and pittoresque in Maro Castello. It was really easy to find as Frank had provided good details regarding it. The appartment has almost everything you can imagine in a "summer" house plus it was super clean when we arrived. The place looks exactly like in the pictures. One little minus was that there was no wifi (mentioned in the descripition) and it would be maybe a good value for the future; we managed to relax without it :) The nearest shop for grocerys is about 10-15mins drive but it is really good shop. Please try the pizzeria(La Legge) in Borgomaro, pizzas are so huge so you only need to order one per two persons. You can walk from the appartment, takes 10mins. Also try the traditional trattoria "Censin Da Bea" all inclusive for 30€/per but note that they will be serving 15+ local Lingurian dishes so you need to be super hungry... We had also a medium size dog with us and all the towns dogs where friendly towards him and we could also let him run unleashed, so no need to worry about that. All in all Franks place was more than what we expected and we would most def return some day!

We had a wonderful stay in Maro Castello, Borgomaro. Frank's house is like a hidden gem on the side of the mountain, with a breath taking view from the terrace. Nice and quiet if you like relaxing. Everything we needed was at hand in the house. From Maro Castello, all places we loved to visit were within a 30 minutes drive. Supermarkets in Imperia are open late or even 24/7. The local Borgomaro trattoria Censin Da Bea is a 'must visit' if you want to enjoy the local traditional cuisine. Make sure to make a reservation if you want to sit in the garden. Maro Castello is definitely a place we would love to visit again!

CASA DEL FILOSOFO - con terrazze in pietra naturale e cantina storica.
Typical Ligurian historic house surrounded by idillic landscape of olive and fig trees, in authentic architecture between the mountains and the sea - a contemplative place!

We are a young Italian-German couple who shares the passion for this marvelous countryside. We know this region since more than a quarter of a century and will be happy to give you great recommendations for anything you are curious to discover. Lovers of nature, art, philosophy as well as supporters of the sustainable ecosystem and of the value of diversity - we welcome with pleasure the most diverse and surprising personalities.
As we live between Germany and Italy, when we travel, Silja´s sister Aimée takes care of the guests.
The village:
This 400 years old Ligurian house is situated in Borgomaro, a medieval village in the hinterland of Imperia. Tipico borgo ligure, Borgomaro is surrounded by olive groves and has a unique position for lovers of mountain (on the feet of the Maritime Alps) or sea activities (15 Km from the Mediterranean Sea). In the village you can find a café, a pizzeria, restaurants and small shops.
The house:
Choosing this house, you will experience the Italian way of living. The house (100 m2) itself, carefully renovated, is furnished with everything you need to feel at home. The very high sealing of the living room opens the space for a gallery. In the separated bedroom there is one big double bed; in addition, there are two double sofa beds (queen size), one on the gallery and one in the central room, the heart of the house. Fresh quality bed linens and towels are provided for your stay.
Please note: in this medieval village, the houses are built in small pedestrian streets with natural and historic stones. The parking place is close, but to get to the house you have to walk-up 5 minutes on stairs and beautiful small street of the village.
The Yoga Liguria:
Aimée is a certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher and at request will be happy to welcome you at Yoga Liguria for individual lessons, group classes, workshops and retreats in the most beautiful places of the region.

We have had wonderful days in this very personalized house and the beautiful square. The description and pictures eröffenen a first impression. We have been well prepared by our hostess on everything. Even earlier communication was easy. The personal tips really helped us get our bearings quickly. We would spend any time our holiday and can only recommend the hotel.

The historic stone house is set in the old center of the small Ligurian village Ville San Sebastiano, amidst olive groves.
The lovable house was carefully renovated in the style of the region. It almost resembles a tower, partly situated over an arch and with two terraces. It has two bedrooms, one with two single beds, a second one with a double bed. On the top floor there is a large living area for dining, with an annexed kitchen, a shaded terrace for eating, and an area for relaxing. From here a second terrace can be reached over a little outdoor staircase. It has a stunning view over the whole valley.
Upon request a second house (right next door) may be available for rent, as it belongs to my brother. Both houses can, if the guests wish so, be joined through a door on one of the terraces.
There is an extra bed for babies/infants.
There is also a small garden, situated outside the village (5 min) with a barbecue place, right among the olive groves.
Ville San Sebastiano is a small village in the maritime Alps, just off the coast. It belongs to Borgomaro, a slightly bigger village with a bar, a pizzeria, a restaurant and shops. There, you can swim in the river Maro, or you drive about 20-30 min to one of the beaches on the lively coast.
Imperia Oneglia is a pleasantly normal coastal town, Imperia Porto Maurizio is slightly more touristic. Attractions include whale and dolphin watching tours, or visit the countless medieval villages in the back country, or the famous towns and cities on the coast (Genova, Albenga, Alassio San Remo, Monaco, Nice etc. are all within an hours drive from Imperia).
The quiet roads in the mountains are perfect for walking and mountain biking.
And the food is delicious!
PS: Please note: There is no TV in the house!

We really enjoyed our stay in the stone house from Alexandra. The surrounding area is wonderfull and peacefull, just what we were looking for. It's a good starting point to visit the sea coast or the mountain area, but you have to be willing to do some driving. The house itself is provided with everything you need to have a good sleep, to wash and to cook. The terraces provide a beautifull view on the mountains.

We had a wonderful time in Alexandra's very charming house surrounded by a beautyful countryside. One of the highlights is definitely the roofterrace with a great view. The house is very well equipped and very nicely furbished. Alexandra gives you great advice what to do in that region. We would come again and highly recommend this place!

We spent two great weeks in this cozy house, far away from tourism and surrounded by nature! The facilities were great and the many tips (restaurants, bathing facilities, excursions ...) were a great help! The views from the roof terrace is beautiful! Gladly again!
